Ludacris was amongst a number of rappers and celebrities

Ludacris was amongst a number of rappers and celebrities who attended the Developing Options UneekVision Diabetes Awareness & Healthy L5ing Benefit Concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles this past Sunday night. The Atlanta rapper was also one of Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 the performers of the evening and even brought Lakers’ Forward Ron Artest on stage for a short cameo appearance. Luda seemed to have also went into his closet of sneakers and brought back the Air Free Run X2’s in White and Black that were probably from the Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Countdown Pack that was released a couple of years ago, he matched his kicks with an all Black outfit that included a Crooks & Castles t-shirt.

Nike Shox technology has assisted countless heel-striking casual ruers, but what happens when you take what might be the line’s most recognizable silhouette and alter its key feature? Even casual-er is one acceptable answer, as the Nike Air Max R4 is aimed squarely at the lifestyle market with a combination of Shox R4 upper plus the Air Max LTD/Wright tooling that’s been a low-key standby for years. This pair furthers its anachronistic character with a ballistic nylon-uppered Chicago-style getup that will remind more than one serious sneakerhead out there of the ‘Bred’ Air Free Run X3.

Sometimes all it takes to make a dope Nike Air Force 1 Low is smart material choices and a simple two toned colorway. We’ve shown you a fair share of tech-upgrades and high end Bespokes, but there’s something to be said about low key joints like the above pictured suede release. Coming on the heels of the black and white suede Uptowns from a couple weeks back, these go with a cloudy shade of obsidian which is paired with white on the accents. The texture on the traditional suede comes al5e a bit more than the recent VT releases, letting the tone of the upper slight between shades bit. Get the full look at this new pair after the jump and be on the lookout for this Nike Air Force 1 Low at local NSW spots like Oneness or you can pick them up now on us stroes.

Officially arr5ing tomorrow, December 18th, is the Air Free Run X3 in White, Black, and Varsity Red. This marks the second adult-sized Air Free Run X3 release of the month and the fourth overall for 2010 (if you haven’t been counting, it’s the Air Free Run X3 Premio, Flints, Altitudes, and these babies). As mentioned before on numerous occasions, the ‘Bulls’ X3 Retro is a true retro in that this colorway was never Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 re-issued in its original state. With the Cool Grey XI release just a week away, some of you may be reticent with this purchase, but don’t make the same mistake twice (who here passed on the White/Red X2’s last year?). These will be available at Free Run Brand retailers like EXIT 36 but you can also pick up a pair now on us stroes.
